The researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, Justin Drake, has introduced a new framework for the long -term development of the network called Lean Ethereum, aimed at simplifying the design of the protocol while preparing it for the security risks proposed by future quantum computers.
The road map, published on Thursday in the blog of the Ethereum Foundation, highlights a renewed emphasis on simplicity, safety and efficiency in the base layer of the network.
Lean Ethereum advocates a simplified approach to how Ethereum validates transactions, stores data and ensures, reducing complexity in favor of minimalism.
The objective, according to Drake, is to make Ethereum’s central protocol easier to maintain and, ultimately, more robust over time.
Security is a great driver behind the proposal. Drake emphasizes the need to proactively defend against quantum computing threats, which could eventually break the widely used cryptographic tools today. Ethereum Delgado describes a transition to firm schemes after quantum, establishing the bases for Ethereum to remain safe even in front of those emerging technologies.
“We are in the dawn of a new era. Millions of quantum adversaries TPS. Drake wrote.
